Has never made a professional appearance and fails WP:GNG criteria with a lack of significant coverage. I would merge this article into the existing draft. Paul Vaurie (talk) 23:34, 7 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep - There are [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7], [8], and [9] sources in the article already. I can easily find many more sources online if that somehow isn't enough. Thanks, Das osmnezz (talk) 23:40, 7 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    • Merge - I can help bring more coverage and check the sources, too. However, I agree that we should wait for the player to make his professional debut first. At this point, I think merging the two pages is the best option available, so we can all collaborate on the same draft and add everything we need.

  • Keep - the fact the player has made his pro debut or not does not infer notability per se. He clearly passes WP:GNG (the subject has received plenty of non-trivial in-depth coverage at Italian national level at least), which is the only thing we should care about here. --Angelo (talk) 23:34, 8 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. This is a baffling nomination. I only checked the first three sources provided by Das osmnezz before it became abundantly clear this person has received enough coverage for GNG. There's no need to wait until the player makes his pro debut either, he very clearly meets our guidelines. Paul Vaurie, I would strongly suggest you look more closely at the sources in the article and consider withdrawing your !vote to delete. --MarchOfTheGreyhounds (talk) 10:13, 9 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep passes WP:GNG, which is the only actual criteria for determining notability. The fact that he doesn't meet an old, depreciated version of WP:NFOOTY is irrelevant, and was never relevant if a person meets GNG like they clearly do here. Joseph2302 (talk) 10:16, 9 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Page written in just three lines and with a single source (concerning the electoral results of the regional elections in Trentino-Alto Adige). In 1964 the list obtained 2.6% of the vote and one seat in the Province of Trento, except for this information and its poor result in 1968 we know practically nothing else about it. It doesn't seem to meet WP:GNG. Scia Della Cometa (talk) 21:49, 7 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep - had regional assembly representation, which should suffice considering the autonomy of the region. --Soman (talk) 22:06, 7 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    WP:NORG makes it clear that just because a political party has held seats in parliament does not automatically confer notable (WP:ORGSIG). It does increase the chance that the party will meet WP:GNG, but at this point, the onus is on you to provide sourcing that shows this. Curbon7 (talk) 04:38, 8 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Effectively it is so, this list does not go beyond that electoral result and the election of a regional councilor...--Scia Della Cometa (talk) 17:34, 8 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment Given that the party only existed because of the efforts of a former DC politician, Luigi Carbonari (politico), it might be that a redirect to him would be most appropriate. Regards, --Goldsztajn (talk) 09:59, 9 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. A political party which obtained one elect in a regional election and was represented for four years in a Regional Council deserves an article. The main topic should be the party, not the politician, but, if regrettably there is no consensus on keeping the article, I hope we can at least create an article on Luigi Carbonari (the party's leader, who was a member of the Italian Parliament before) and merge it into the new article. --Checco (talk) 16:15, 9 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment A party deserves an article if it respects WP:GNG and there is something to tell about it. On this party, excluding the electoral result, there is practically nothing to say. I agree with Goldsztajn's proposal, ie merge it with the party leader's page: in the next few days I will create an article about Luigi Carbonari. A redirect to a broader page in this case can be very useful, while a three-line article is not necessary. --Scia Della Cometa (talk) 18:53, 9 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    The article's been created already. :) Regards, Goldsztajn (talk) 21:50, 9 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Perfect! ;) --Scia Della Cometa (talk) 07:45, 10 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep, for now, ideally with expanded references. Merging with the party leader's page should be a fall-back option.--Autospark (talk) 15:54, 13 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge with Luigi Carbonari: After thinking about this one for a few days, there is just nothing here. This is a fairly minor party that existed for a short period of time, so it's no surprise that coverage is practically non-existent. Merging with Carbonari's article will still preserve the history of the party, but will do so in a better venue, so I think that is the best option in the current light.

The result was a split decision I see a consensus to delete the article on Adeogun and a consensus to merge/redirect the article on The White Saviors. Guerillero Parlez Moi 12:59, 15 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Olusola Adeogun[edit]

Olusola Adeogun (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD | edits since nomination)
(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

I see no indication of notability for Olusola Adeogun besides that he is the narrator of a podcast The White Saviors which doesn't itself look to be notable. Both articles claimed that Adeogun and the podcast had won a Digital Publishing Award but the DPA page doesn't mention either and links to a completely different piece. Other sources are marginal. For example, this link to a PDF file which simply lists someone of the same name (among hundreds of names), without confirmation of it uniquely belonging to this subject. On Talk:The White Saviors, there is a kerfuffle about source dates which resulted in the removal of most of the article's original text. Probably all of this should be deleted or moved as a minor mention in Canadaland. Hard thoughtful work (talk) 21:30, 31 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I am also nominating the following related page because it is mentioned in the producer's biography as his only creative output: Hard thoughtful work (talk) 21:43, 31 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The White Saviors (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

*Delete this is all I found [10]. Nothing we can use. No other sources. Oaktree b (talk) 23:39, 31 August 2022 (UTC) [reply]

  • There are two articles being discussed, but I think you only commented on the first one. I'm just mentioning that in case that was in error. CT55555 (talk) 03:02, 1 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    I was only commenting on the article about Olusola, not the podcast, I might review that proposal later. Oaktree b (talk) 13:45, 1 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Keep both (As the author of both)

Regarding Olusola Adeogun his only claim to notability is indeed his involvement in the podcast. However, I belive that does satisfy WP:CREATIVE criterion 3 The person has created or played a major role in co-creating a significant or well-known work or collective body of work. In addition, such work must have been the primary subject of multiple independent periodical articles or reviews. He's the narrator of the entire series. I think that's a major role. And the podcast is the primary subject of multiple independent articles, as I'll demonstrate below as I explain why the podcast should be kept too. Even if that didn't compel you, the most drastic action woudl surely be a redirect to The White Saviors as per WP:ATD. Regarding the PDF link, he has an uncommon name and so unless you think there might be another media studies person in the same city with the same unusual name, it's a valid source for verifiability, once notability is established elsewhere.
The podcast did get an honourable mention at the awards, but it's not easy to spot as they worded it badly, and didn't mention Adeogun, despite that you can see it clearly here: https://digitalpublishingawards.ca/category/digital-publishing-awards/ (search for "WE Charity" in the text).
Regarding The White Saviors keep because it is a very notable podcast. As per the sources in the article, it was was described as one of the best Canadian podcasts of 2021 in The Globe and Mail and by CBC Radio. It is the subject of multiple reviews in media and also an academic source. That's a clear pass at WP:GNG based on the sources in the article. To make it easy for people, I'll give some examples here:

  • The Digital Publishing Awards page is dated January 26, 2021;[11] the podcast was released in August 2021.CorrTimes (talk) 17:43, 1 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    I don't think that's accurate. I think the page has had a number of updated and the date of each follows. However, you could be correct that the award precedes the podcast and maybe that is why Olusola Adeogun is not mentioned, maybe it's an award for Canadaland's general coverage of the WE Charity. I must admit, I think I mixed up Canadaland's general reporting on the WE Charity with the podcast when I put these article together originally, I think errors from that are now fixed. I'm going to assume you are correct that the award is not about the podcast and is about general reporting. Which leaves me back where I was when I commented above: it's an impactful podcast, with the national broadcaster and the most popular newspaper in the country ranking it in their top 5 for 2021 and therefore people who played a major role in creating it are notable as per C3 of WP:CREATIVE. CT55555 (talk) 21:27, 1 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]


  • Delete both for lack of independent notability or move to Canadaland. See both talk page discussions where the creator said that the reason Olusola Adeogun and The White Saviors were notable is because they prompted the resignation of Bill Morneau,[12] even though Morneau resigned a year before the podcast.CorrTimes (talk) 17:34, 1 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    The initial error has been fixed. I recommend people judge The White Saviors as per WP:GNG and Olusola Adeogun as per WP:CREATIVE and judge it simply based on the articles as it stands, corrected mistakes are not reasons to delete. CT55555 (talk) 18:05, 1 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge or at least redirect both articles to Canadaland#The_White_Saviours. The coverage is simply not in depth enough to merit a separate article, but I think there is salvageable content here. For instance, The Globe and Mail source is reliable and contains more than WP:100WORDS about the podcast and the CBC article is at least reliable and explicitly focuses on the podcast for a paragraph. I don't see any reason for outright deletion of the pages. TipsyElephant (talk) 23:29, 1 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete: Per norm. Not enough coverage. Jamiebuba (talk) 10:06, 2 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak keep for the podcast based on explanation above, delete for Adeogun the individual. Oaktree b (talk) 12:35, 2 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment I don't think anyone has mentioned the Jacobin article titled "Canadaland: The Podcast Holding Power to Account". The article arguably spends a few paragraphs discussing the podcast and Jacobin is listed at WP:RSP as generally reliable. TipsyElephant (talk) 20:06, 2 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you, as this helps inform my judgment, as Adeogun is not at all mentioned in the Jacobin article, and the White Saviors is discussed only in context of the larger Canadaland topic. Here Under The Oaks (talk) 21:12, 2 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Olusola Adeogun as simply not notable (as of yet) with only one brief podcast narration gig to his credit. Merge The White Saviors to Canadaland#The_White_Saviors (no "u" in Saviors in any sources I've seen), as it seems that sources discussing the podcast series predominantly level-up to Canadaland.

Significant young figure in Nicaraguan football with an ongoing pro and international career who has played for two of the top 4 Nicaraguan teams (Real Estelí and Walter Ferretti) and helped the latter win their only ever Nicaraguan cup in 2021. Article needs improvement, not deletion. Thanks, Das osmnezz (talk) 05:39, 1 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete, coverage cited above does not amount to a WP:GNG pass, being a collective of interviews, passing mentions and unreliable sources, none of which contribute to notability. Devonian Wombat (talk) 11:57, 1 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete (weakish) per Devonian's source analysis. I couldn't find much myself, either. The subject appears to have received some coverage, but not enough for notability. I did find [15], which I do believe counts towards the GNG. However, more sources need to be found for notability to be demonstrated. —Danre98(talk^contribs) 23:58, 1 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete Lacks enough significant coverage to pass WP:GNG. While the source from User:Danre98 is decent (the rest is not), GNG requires multiple significant sources. Being an international, professional or having an ongoing career is irrelevant in AfD. If somebody finds additional significant sources, I am more than happy to change my !vote. Alvaldi (talk) 15:23, 3 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. The source from Danre98 is indeed the best of the lot, but I don't think it has enough independent secondary commentary on him to count towards GNG. Among the non-quoted material, there's too much content that's just restating what he said rather than providing analysis. JoelleJay (talk) 02:12, 4 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete owing to a lack of multiple in-depth high quality sources with which to write an article. Fails GNG. Please don't waste people's time by putting forward Facebook and YouTube as sources, that's being disruptive. --Malcolmxl5 (talk) 21:08, 7 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Article was draftified but then contested by creator, hence AfD. Subject has made a small number of appearances in a semi-pro league. Article fails WP:GNG and WP:SPORTBASIC and would even have failed the old WP:NFOOTBALL guideline.

Searches in Google News and DDG did not yield any independent significant coverage. The reason that this was draftified was because the subject is young so could potentially be notable in a few years but Wikipedia is not a WP:CRYSTAL ball so we should only create the article after Kuzin becomes notable.

This is a contract between the Israeli government and various tech companies. A contract isn't inherently notable, and the citations only note the ensuing controversy (ie, there doesn't seem to be coverage of the program in and of itself...just that some object to it). I think this could be a paragraph in Israel Defense Forces or similar article that summarizes controversies about the parties involved. ZimZalaBim talk 17:37, 31 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment. The suggestion of nom that this may belong under the IDF is proof that this article is not suitable for keep. It is a LOGICAL conclusion if you read OUR article but, objectively, the two are not related. This is a national policy that affects all agencies in Israel which evoked a discussion about what the impacts might be for Israeli defense and intelligence, not especially targeted by the policy. There is no direct relationship but for how this discussion evolved (and everyone has a right to get worked up about what they choose of course). Hence the other conclusion of nom and their recommendation for a partial merger, be it to another article (that they explicitly keep open), makes more sense. The article, as is, is a political shit sandwich of unrelated matters. We have a national policy here, a hypothetical discussion on possible implications, and then reactions to these discussions and what these meant for the job security of people who expressed their personal opinions, corporate affairs, and the like. In short: the focus of this article keeps shifting and follows, after the initial writeup, nothing but a news cycle, creating a distorted perception of the subject. gidonb (talk) 13:32, 2 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
On second look, even the first two paragraphs were WP:POV. I streamlined these just a bit.

because I stumbled over this topic in a news article. Being curious, I wiki'd it. Seeing how fresh the wiki entry is and how fast it was marked for deletion, I came here to throw in my two cents.

Cannot find sufficient sourcing to indicate that this person is a notable figure in radio/pirate radio. Anything that comes up on a Google search tends to be about his company with him mentioned trivially or not at all.

The books listed in "Further reading" cannot be verified to have SIGCOV of him. None are available in full text on GBooks, Internet Archive, or...elsewhere. I made a request at RSX about a week ago (Wikipedia:WikiProject Resource Exchange/Resource Request#Grant Benson) but no dice as these are rather obscure books and the author didn't bother to provide page numbers. MrLinkinPark did respond to say that the second book was searchable for him and Benson's name does not appear in it, which leads me to believe that the author was simply listing topically related books rather than trying to cite content about Benson. ♠PMC♠ (talk) 17:39, 7 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Oppose. Saha is a surname, used mostly by two castes- Baishya Saha and Shunri, which are now practically different castes. Both these castes have few other surnames too, like Podder, Sadhu, Sadhukhan, Mandal, Roychoudhury etc. Baishya prefix is necessary for the caste article as the community often identify themselves by the present article name; Scholars too use this name. So Baishy Saha(caste article) and Saha(surname article) aren't identical and deserve separate and independent presence on Wikipedia. Thanks.CharlesWain (talk) 07:07, 8 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose. Saha (surname) is a surname as evident from the article name, whereas Baishya Saha is a caste. Saha may be used as a surname by other castes especially Shunris as rightly mentioned by CharlesWain above. Therefore, there's no reason why the article on Baishya Saha should be deleted! Thanks.

This is entirely sourced to BSA promotional material. My own searching fails to find any sources that meet WP:SIRS. A small portion of this material (say, a list of the camps with 1-2 sentences about each) could be merged into Scouting in New Jersey with a redirect left behind. The vast majority is low-level trivia, as noted in January. Garden State Council in the parent article is a good example of what makes sense. Much of it ("By drawing on the strengths of each of these individual councils and merging them together, the Northern New Jersey Council has committed itself to offering the finest Scouting programs, increasing membership and providing strong, supportive leadership") is WP:G11 material.

I propose this with some sadness, having been a member of Troop 350 when I was a kid, and enjoyed many a camping trip to Alipine, NoBe, and Floodwood, where I earned my 50 miler award. But none of that means this meets WP:N. -- RoySmith (talk) 13:50, 24 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

--evrik (talk) 13:22, 25 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

None of these are WP:SIGCOV of the subject
  • Slocum is coverage of a real estate sale 60 years ago by a predecessor entity, which doesn't say anything about the council beyond the terms of the land sale.
  • Kalleser is extensive coverage of the history of NoBeBoSco, but only makes passing mentions of the North Bergen Council as related to the camp.
  • Gormly covers the slasher movie made at NoBeBoSco, but again, just a passing mention of Northern New Jersey Council as the owner of the camp.
  • Zusman talks about Boy Scout camps in general, with a short section about NoBeBoSco as part of the list. I don't see anything that even mentions the council.
  • Kean is a political speech by the state governor. I can't find the full text, but from the abstract linked to on Google Books, it doesn't sound very significant to me. If you have a source for the full text, I'd be happy to look at it in more detail.
WP:GNG requires that coverage for organizations Contain significant coverage addressing the subject of the article directly and in depth. These sources fall well short of that.

None of these sources are talking about the council. They are (mostly) talking about camps that the council owns. But, the key point is that there is no significant coverage of the council.

@GoingBatty: As you may remember, both Camp NoBeBoSco and Camp No-Be-Bos-Co have existed in the past, and were merged with this article.

IMO clearly meets GNG. There is one argument against that which is really unfounded. Which is saying to coverage about things which are a part of the council is not coverage of the council.

  • redirect rather than delete. i do not have a specific preference regarding whether the article should be kept or not, but i think it would be better to convert it into a redirect rather than simply delete it. whenever similar annual events have been cancelled due to the pandemic and there was not already an article on that year's event, i have noticed that a common practice is to create a redirect to the main event article and include the redirect in the appropriate category of events cancelled due to the pandemic, as seen here.
    although i think that, at this point, i am the editor who has contributed most to the prose that has remained, i am not particularly attached to the prose, and most of the information is already in the main event article anyway. (as an aside, i think this subject actually does pass wp:gng, but i do not think it passing wp:gng should be dispositive, as much of the discussion is about plans for an event that never happened.) however, at the time i updated the article to reflect the event's cancellation, i did not think that it would be appropriate for me to unilaterally delete the article or convert it into a redirect, as i believe there is precedent for keeping such stubs, as seen with 2020 Evian Championship, 2020 IHF Super Globe, and 2020 European Athletics Championships. (the history for the last one may be interesting, as it shows two attempts at converting it into a redirect that were reverted.)
    i assume that, whatever the outcome of this discussion is, the same should probably similarly apply to other comparable stubs. would it be appropriate to convert this into a nomination for multiple articles? i admittedly do not spend much time at afd, so i am unfamiliar with the procedures here. also, the number of articles in the Sports events cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic category seems daunting, and articles such as The Boat Race 2020, a featured article, should probably be weeded out of such a nomination. however, it would be nice to get some guidance regarding how to proceed with such stubs going forward. dying (talk) 04:29, 1 September 2022 (UTC) [note: hilariously, two of the stubs i listed above have since been turned into redirects, almost certainly due to my pointing them out. in any case, the existence of many other such stubs, at the time i edited the article currently under discussion, is why i had not unilaterally turned this article into a redirect, so the point still stands. also, the fact that they were converted into redirects rather than nominated for deletion supports my overall argument. dying (talk) 10:44, 7 September 2022 (UTC)][reply]
  • Redirect is fine. As for the other articles listed, there are loads of redirects in that category, and the existence of other permanent stubs isn't a reason to keep this- it's a reason to get rid of them too, in my opinion. But there are so many cancelled sports events that everything cannot be looked at immediately. Joseph2302 (talk) 07:46, 1 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    • oh, i agree that "the existence of other permanent stubs isn't a reason to keep this", as per wp:ose. however, i disagree that "it's a reason to get rid of them too", also as per wp:ose. in addition, i do not think that everything needs to be looked at immediately, and i apologize if that appeared to be what i was proposing. however, i think there is merit in including perhaps one or two permanent stubs from each sport in an afd nomination of multiple articles to obtain a decent consensus regarding what action (if any) should be taken with such stubs going forward, so that no additional editor time is wasted with future cancellation updates if these stubs will end up being merged, redirected, or deleted anyway. i had been thinking of making such a nomination myself, but quickly realized that having my first afd nomination be a complex nomination of multiple articles does not seem like a good idea. dying (talk) 10:44, 7 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

British nobleman, fails WP:BIO and in particular WP:BASIC due to a lack of coverage. The subject does not pass WP:NPOL either, because he never sat in the House of Lords, since he inherited his title after 1999. The two sources in the article are insufficient to establish notability, since thepeerage.com is a Self-published peerage website, and the Rich List 2019 predominantly describes his father's wealth alone (since this was published before he inherited his titles in 2021, I am almost certain the list only covers the wealth of the 7th Marquess, not the 8th's; and I couldn't find him in post-2021 listings). Beyond passing mentions, BEFORE only turned up this piece from the Scottish Mail on Sunday, which seems to be part of the deprecated Daily Mail (the deprecation extends to Daily Mail publications in Scotland).

This article is currently a complete mess, mainly consisting of original research about similarities and differences between Oxford and Cambridge. Of the sources cited, AFAICT, only this one from the Oxford maths department discusses rivalry at all. My own searches turned up only this from BBC Travel/Lonely Planet and this in the NYT. The BBC article is really about differences between them rather than going into any detail about the rivalry. The NYT article is just a general update on ongoings at both universities at the time. Unless there are other sources out there, I don't think that this merits it's own article, and if there is any salvagable content, it can be moved to Oxbridge.

In my opinion sources do meet requirments for notability, if not are you able to provide examples of what is acceptable source for a sports team/academy. Not all sources discuss only alumni of the academy, Source [4] discusses season achievments of the academy along all age groups, Source [10] discusses accolades in Jr. NBA Lithuania, which is franchise of notable basketball organisation, as well as Source [11] discusses Champions at International level.

thats not true, e.g [1] solely speaks about school it’s history and school itself. Schools achievments in other articles are about school and not individual alumni on other articles like this one [2].

I have included two more references both from major newsites in Lithuania [1][2]. In my understanding even first reference provided on this talk is sufficient.

The first reference there is an interview with the director:For ten years, every day, we emphasize that quality is important to us, not quantity," says Stasys Kaupys, director of the V.

Sometimes not a single very talented child grows up in ten years, but sometimes dozens of them grow up. Here everything is determined by the constellations. So that WP:ORGIND and WP:SIRS as it not secondary coverage. The 2nd reference is a press-release and is non-rs, fails WP:SIRS and WP:CORPDEPTH.

  • Delete for failing WP:CORPDEPTH and broad geographic coverage. Checking these citations was a bit tough as they are in Lithuanian and had to be run through machine translation. Four ve-lt citations write about players successes and only mention in passing the basketball school. Same with the two delfi.lt citations. These appear to be local sources which are reporting youth sports. mkl.lt might not be an accurate link as it has no mention of the school. krepsinis.net is about the opening of a new arena. While I didn't review them all I'm not seeing where the school is getting broad independent coverage. The comments above seem to pleed, "Please don't take this article away because their students are doing so well."

The references are almost entirely from the various record labels he has recorded for, apart from one obituary for his former bandmate in a local newspaper and a review from a non-notable website, a blog for a free music download app. The article was written by a near-SPA editor... the only other edits this editor has made are about neuroscience, and given that Bryyn (aka Bryn Martin) works full-time as a neuroscientist, this strongly suggests an autobiography... this would explain how the article creator knows Bryyn's birth date, who his influences are, and that he used to borrow CDs from public libraries as a child. Even with the unusual name and the fact he has been recording during the internet era, I cannot find any reliable sources about this artist. Richard3120 (talk) 14:24, 7 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete - The nominator did some nice detective work here. Bryyn has self-released a lot of music on the usual self-upload sources, and has promoted himself in the usual social media services, but nobody else has noticed his work. The article's reliance on red links and mis-directed blue links (some of which I have removed) indicates an attempt to puff up the article with connections to other people/things that are also non-notable. He's a longtime collaborator and studio hand who apparently loves to make music outside of his day job, and that's cool but to get an article here he needs notice from reliable media. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 13:21, 8 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment. While my own WP:BEFORE is ongoing, my initial searches are not looking promising. While the subject is mentioned in several news articles ([22],[23],etc), none would seem to meet WP:ORGDEPTH. I say this because I'm having a hard time finding even ONE reliable independent source to confirm what the subject actually IS. Is it a website that publishes petitions (outwardly that's what I see)? A membership org (if so how)? WP:ORGDEPTH requires "Deep or significant coverage [that] provides an overview, description [..] or evaluation of the [..] organization. Such coverage [..] makes it possible to write more than a very brief, incomplete stub". That I cannot find even ONE news or academic source providing an overview/description/evaluation of the subject is telling. From own evaluation I can see that the subject is registered as a limited company with the CRO. Is *not* registered as a charity. Is *not* Register of Third Parties with SIPO and is not in the list of third parties who submitted returns. Is however seemingly included in the SIPO Register of Lobbying. Beyond that, and in all honesty, the subject seems to be a website (funded by donations) that allows pretty much anyone to publish a petition. Of which there are thousands and thousands. Sometimes covering relatively local/niche topics. Which are then converted into an email or a tweet or similar approach to a local or national politician. That I had to go "hunting" for this information suggests to me that WP:CORPDEPTH is not met. Certainly, in my own WP:BEFORE, I haven't found anything substantive to expand the current small stub into a slightly less-small stub. (Note, the "350,000 members" number seems to be "people who have created a profile/voted on the website". And, while website users/visitors isn't a factor in WP:WEBCRIT, this "claim to fame" seems weak at best...) Guliolopez (talk) 11:43, 7 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Best, GPL93 (talk) 14:58, 7 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Following my earlier comment above, I have since completed my own WP:BEFORE. Or, at least, have spent as much time on it as I'm going to. In short, and while I acknowledge that the relatively generic name of the subject (not exactly lending itself to a clear and unambiguous results in news/book/academic sources) means that I may be overlooking something, I am not finding significant coverage of the subject. No national news articles (in the Irish Times, Irish Examiner, Irish Independent or RTÉ) in which the subject is the primary topic. No independent sources at all that provide "significant coverage [that] provides an overview, description [..] or evaluation of the [..] organization". All I'm left with therefore is my own interpretation of fragmented coverage and passing mentions. That the subject is a company that coordinates a web-based community, to run surveys and petitions, and surface the outputs to politicians. While there's nothing wrong with that, there is nothing to indicate that the company meets WP:NORG, that the website meets WP:NWEB or that the activities meet WP:SIGCOV.

Unhappily, the users @Kostyafinehouse and ConstFine (who have not shown any interest of other articles) essentially removed what little of encyclopedian interest there was, and replaced it with conventional promotion material.
    If Pasquale (or someone else) has the wish and finds the time for restoring a more encyclopedian article, and also could add some reliable (non-blog) sources for the interest the artist is said to have evoked, then I think the article could be kept.

No particular evidence of notability, essentially a man who’s had a career. The French award he received has been held by hundreds of thousands of people, while being named hotelier of the year is of marginal relevance absent other distinguishing factors.

The coverage leaves much to be desired: it’s mostly the subject pontificating about himself or his industry; unsurprising, as he’s also in public relations. This, from a dubious source no less, calls him “super trained, experienced, dedicated and devoted”, which tells you all you need to know about its objectivity. - Biruitorul Talk 04:55, 17 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  1. The subject has significant coverage in multiple reliable sources like Ziarul Financiar, Forbes Romania, Romania Insider, economedia, Business Review and others. I didn't cite WOWbiz because it's an interview but it does show the subject is well known to the Romanian media.
  2. The award Order of Agricultural Merit he received is notable anyway, regardless of how many people have gained it since 1883. Also being "hotelier of the year" is a distinguished achievement, just like being "actor of the year" would be in an actor's career.
  3. The source mentioned in the nomination is mainly used for some basic info like DOB, place of birth and education etc, his notability doesn't rely on it. Picking up just one source out of 16 doesn't help the cause. Insight 3 (talk) 04:55, 1 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
      • First, let’s point out that this vote comes from the article creator, an individual who has previously fought to keep articles he’s created, only to see them deleted.
      • Next: yes, the Order of Agricultural Merit is a notable award, but not all its hundreds of thousands of recipients are automatically notable. I hope we can make that distinction. And no, being named “hotelier of the year” is not necessarily a sign of notability, unless accompanied by coverage outside the industry echo chamber.
      • Finally, the sources mentioned really do nothing to bolster a notability claim. Ziarul Financiar simply quotes the subject, that’s it. The others deal with professional moves he is making: leaving a management job, being appointed manager of a new hotel (2) and entering a business partnership with some guy. All of this is routine coverage of a random person’s career, of the type that fills similar publications every day of the week. It’s essentially PR about someone who happens to be an expert at PR. None of it is remotely encyclopedic in character, as defined by WP:BASIC: “significant coverage in multiple published secondary sources that are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject”. — Biruitorul Talk 07:41, 4 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
        • I waited for two weeks for others to participate here, when no one came, I used my right to defend the article that I created and which I believe deserves to stay. We create articles and sometimes they get deleted too, what's the point here? BTW, I didn't create the second one you mentioned!
        • It is self-contradictory to say a notable award is given to an individual without any merit that can make them distinguished from other ordinary non-notable people. The "hotelier of the year" honor is reported by two independent magazines ([25] & [26]) which are quite outside the "industry echo chamber".
        • This is exactly how media covers active careers of living people, if they are not notable who cares what job they are leaving and with whom they are making partnerships. The real things to judge are 1) the coverage is significant (i.e. the sources are mainly about the subject, not just passing mentions), 2) the sources are independent of the subject (even you don't deny that), 3) they are multiple (more than one, simple math), and are reliable (aren't they?) Insight 3 (talk) 15:03, 4 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    • Let’s try this again. Here is the list of the agriculture award recipients — for just this year. 62 pages long, hundreds of individuals. Approximately zero of them are notable by our standards. If any of them are notable, it’s not solely on the basis of the award.
    • Regarding your hotelier award sources: the first includes phrases such as “Ile really is a person with whom you can chat for hours on end”, “Ile truly is the professional missing from management teams”, “in a single word, he defines himself as a FRIEND”. Objective journalism, indeed. The second source calls itself “the magazine of the Romanian hospitality industry”, so is quite literally the mouthpiece of the industry echo chamber.
    • It took me about five minutes to discover another Romanian CEO, along with five reasonably independent sources about her: [27], [28], [29], [30], [31]. Does this imply Mihaela Bîtu deserves an article here? Not really: it’s the type of routine coverage the business press awards to any CEO. Same with this Ile fellow. — Biruitorul Talk 05:40, 5 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
      • It's really hard to look for everyone's notability in the list. To write a Wiki biography, we need more info than just being in a list of recipients (and this is not the case for Calin Ile). But I am sure, if a wiki page is set for any of them, the award will be mentioned as a sign of notability on it.
      • For 'Hotelier of the Year', sources exist outside the hospitality industry as well:
      Bihon
      B365
      Its just a matter of finding more sources with deep online search.
      • The person you mentioned may or may not be notable, but if I say yes she is, you will bring another name and so on. Like "other stuff exists", "other people exist" is also not very helpful argument. Moreover, Calin Ile is not just a GM appointed here and there, as per sources, he is the president of the Romanian Hospitality Industry Federation (FIHR) and the the spokesperson for the Alliance for Tourism (APT). So, no comparison with your example. Insight 3 (talk) 14:13, 5 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Ran a couple of references through a translator and they are mainly Calin's comments the hospitality/tourism sector and his company's strategy for getting through the pandemic. Not seeing anything that deals specifically with the subject in any depth. The two awards might get him across the line but it's hard to say.-KH-1 (talk) 01:31, 7 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    Surely, you haven't gone through all the references, the references cited in the lead section are just additional. The subject has pretty significant coverage here: [32], [33], [34]. He is also covered in the Forbes Romania.
    Importantly, one should not expect a hotelier to have the kind of media coverage that actors, sports people, or politicians usually get. Insight 3 (talk) 04:34, 7 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep:

      • Bihon.ro: "Călin Ile is general manager at Hote Ibis and teacher at ASE. Călin Ile attended specialization courses in the field of tourism in Denmark, Holland and France, executive manager with excellent results at Hotel Continental in Bucharest at only 27 years old, where he learns and perfects his managerial activity and acquires the experience and competence to be entrusted with the opening the first Ibis Hotel in Romania, in Bucharest."
      • Coltisor: "In a few words, Călin Ile's CV includes several milestones: born in Bucharest 40 or so years ago, graduated in 1995 from the Faculty of Tourism within ASE Bucharest, later with specialization courses in the field of tourism in Denmark, Holland and France..."
      • Infotravel Romania: "An ASE graduate, Călin Ile has been part of the Ibis team since the hotel chain arrived in Romania in 2001. He contributed to the opening of the first Ibis hotel in Bucharest, and then to the development of the network to 4 hotels today. He also holds the position of vice-president of the Romanian Hotel Industry Federation since May 2011."

  • Comment Another excerpt from another mentioned source.
    • Insociety.ro interview article's non-interview intro: "Călin does not regret for a moment the choice to be a hotelier, an idea that was imprinted in his mind when he was 18 years old, after, together with a classmate, organize coming-of-age parties or even New Year's Eve parties. However, it was not his only option, since, as he himself confesses, he also flirted with the idea of becoming a banker – being an analytical person, with some inclination towards numbers and statistics, or a teacher, as a continuation of his mother's work sale, math teacher all her life. Personally, the biggest challenge was when he left his hometown, Marghita (Bihor county), and came alone to Bucharest, scared, perhaps, of everything that was going to happen to him. He was only 18 years old, but he managed. Professional, the opportunity to be the director of the Continental Hotel in Bucharest, an emblematic hotel on Calea Victoriei, at only 25 years old, was, without a doubt, the biggest challenge."

  • Keep - the trade magazines cited are independent, reliable sources and they contain significant coverage of the subject. WaggersTALK 09:33, 8 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete This is a company/organization therefore WP:NCORP guidelines apply. There are particular criteria for establishing the notability of a company. As per WP:SIRS *each* reference must meet the criteria for establishing notability, generally a minimum of two sources of deep or significant coverage. WP:CORPDEPTH - in-depth information *on the company* WP:ORGIND - "Independent Content" which in order to count towards establishing notability, must include original and independent opinion, analysis, investigation, and fact checking that are clearly attributable to a source unaffiliated to the subject. Leaving aside the primary sources, we're left with 8 others as follows:
    • This from Route One is a brief mention (2 sentences) of the company because the founder (who was 19 at the time in 2016) describes his business objectives. Fails ORGIND and CORPDEPTH
    • This next from Route One is largely an interview with some Vectare execs who describe the software that they're developing to make school bus coordination easier. All of the information is provided by the execs (fails ORGIND) and hardly anything about the topic company (fails CORPDEPTH)
    • The UK Bus Awards in 2018 held a New Horizons Award and awarded the Gold Medal to the topic company for the software they've developed. The award is non-notable for the purposes of establishing notability. Fails CORPDEPTH
    • This from Essex Highways and Essex County Council shows a map of two bus routes and says that the topic company is now operating these routes on behalf of Essex County Council. No in-depth info, fails CORPDEPTH. Arguably this is also an announcement by an affiliated partner, fails ORGIND
    • This from Coach & Bus Week is a short summary of the above announcement from Essex Highways with a quote from a councillor. Fails CORPDEPTH and ORGIND.
    • This from ArrivaBus is a service the topic company replaced, doesn't mention the topic company, not really relevant for notability purposes. Fails CORPDEPTH
    • This in Leicestershire Live is a good piece on the new on-demand service operated by the topic company but it doesn't provide any "Independent Content" not in-depth information on the company, fails CORPDEPTH and ORGIND
    • This from bustimes.org appears to be a website run by an enthusiast but the "unofficial" disclaimer lends itself to being rejected as a reliable source.
None of the references meet the criteria for establishing notability of the company. NemesisAT provides a reasoning of adding "reliable publications" - this is pretty much a given *before* examining the content of each source to see if it meets NCORP. Waggers says the references from trade magazines are "independent, reliable sources" that "contain significant coverage of the subject" - I disagree. Especially using the NCORP definition of independent to include "Independent Content". In addition, none of the articles are in-depth about the company. Topic therefore fails WP:NCORP. HighKing++ 20:59, 9 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. I largely agree with HighKing's NCORP analysis, so I don't think I need to walk through the references individually: suffice it to say that they lack independent content, don't discuss the company in sufficient depth, or both. There are a few other sources that haven't yet been mentioned (e.g. [35]), but they suffer from the same shortfalls. Another point is that WP:AUD doesn't seem to be satisfied: the only available sources appear to be "media of limited interest and circulation" (e.g. trade journals, which are also explicitly called out as problematic at WP:ORGIND) or "local media", and AUD says we need more than that. Extraordinary Writ (talk) 05:57, 15 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delte. Lacks independent sources for WP:CORPDEPTH. The two Route-one.net citations make only passing mention. The UK Bus Awards citation has a byline "content provided by Vectare". The operating area cites the company's own site in a password protect area. The sole objective citation was Coach&Bus Week which only mentioned their takeover of a park & ride service. Other sources refer to the company's own site. Blue Riband► 14:19, 15 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Yet another apparent case of a rail stop/post office elevated through GNIS to a "populated place" and thence to a "community" through WP's authorship. The only "habitation" now is an electrical substation which appears in aerials all the way back into the 1950s; a building which one might take as a station sits next to in that image, but that's it.

  • Redirect to Honey Creek Township. I always prefer to err on the side of retaining articles if there's even borderline evidence of past or present notability, but in this case I have to admit that Guernsey probably doesn't reach even that:

    This 1896 map indicates it's just a post office and siding without lots, streets, or any other appurtenances of an actual town. (It also clearly places the PO & siding in Honey Creek instead of Union.) By 1920 it's gone from the maps entirely. Cram's 1888 rail map shows it as a rail station (named "Wright") as does an 1896 map, so it certainly existed, but it seems safe to say that almost nothing else was there. The Monon Railroad Historical-Technical Society says that prior to 1950 there was a grain elevator, but photos since show nothing but a railroad crossing. ╠╣uw [talk] 20:00, 11 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment Folkbladet - nowhere near sigcov of her. Gratistidning - a copy and paste of an article from her employer IFK Norrköping's website which makes it non-independent of her. The nt.se articles are paywalled. Can you share what they say? Last source is a podcast and is useless. Dougal18 (talk) 14:20, 1 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep, while the sources in the Norrköpings Tidningar article are paywalled, we can pretty well assume from the nature of both the newspaper and the titles that they provide SIGCOV. Since this newspaper is a major regional newspaper that serves several hundred thousand people, it is most likely a reliable source, as such this individual passes WP:GNG. Devonian Wombat (talk) 06:57, 8 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    @Devonian Wombat I disagree, those headlines read like either transactional retirement reports or interviews, but even if they were SIGCOV they count as ONE source so she still would not pass GNG. JoelleJay (talk) 19:10, 8 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - Article about former international footballer (helped Sweden reach the semis of a Euro) and current coach which appears to meet the GNG. The January 2011 NT article about her retirement is behind a paywall but appears likely to be SIGCOV. The July 2022 NT article about her coaching career also appears to be SIGCOV. I know that multiple articles from a "single organization or author" are usually counted as one source, but I don't think that makes much sense when the articles are from different authors, from different decades, and cover different aspects of her career (playing v. coaching). The Folkbladet article is close to SIGCOV but perhaps slightly short of it. On the balance though, I think we get there, and if it's slightly short, this is a good case for IAR (she didn't have an unimportant role in Swedish football). Jogurney (talk) 03:45, 13 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    I don't think those NT articles should be considered likely to contain independent SIGCOV -- there is no way to determine whether something is a routine report, a press release, or an interview, all of which are common on NT (see this random recent article I clicked on that turned out to be a press release based on their identical captions). Folkbladet uses the exact same caption as NT for their own "Lilja's important role" article, which suggests it's a news release rather than independent reporting. If we don't even have the authors of the articles, I also don't think we should be assuming the articles are independent. JoelleJay (talk) 20:10, 13 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

    @PiccklePiclePikel: This is the version before I cleaned it up.

NytharT.C 17:10, 1 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    I thought you had removed only 2 sources. But now I see you have removed 4! Sources should not be removed simply because you were unable to access them. In addition with the two Billboard (magazine) articles that were referenced, the article would have apparently indicated its own notability in the version before your edits. PiccklePiclePikel (talk) 17:17, 1 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    @PiccklePiclePikel: No, for reasons included in my nomination summary. Read it. NytharT.C 17:22, 1 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    You said "two other difficult-to-access sources (which do not alone appear to indicate notability)" regarding to the articles in Billboard (magazine), did you or did you not access them? PiccklePiclePikel (talk) 17:35, 1 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    @PiccklePiclePikel: Have a look at what the Billboard sources are referenced for in the article. One of them cites something about playing hours of Frank Sinatra's music after his death, which isn't notable. The other is cited for two different things (a, b) which are about commercials and advertisements; see them for yourself. Neither the first Billboard source nor the second source are used to reference something of notability in the article. When I removed the non-notable sections, I also removed the sources; why would I just leave the sources, if they aren't used for anything? This + them being difficult to access (to answer your question, I didn't access them), led me to remove them. Objection? NytharT.C 17:40, 1 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    Simply put, you are not supposed to remove any sources for simply not being able to access them at the time. You have not read either of those articles that were used as sources. Also i'm not convinced that removing those sources and the sections of the article that those were used as references for was a right move as I think you simply saw the word "commercial" and decided it doesn't belong. Part of the sentences talk about the historical context of commercials and advertising at the time, that seems quite relevant in the context of an article about a radio station. PiccklePiclePikel (talk) 18:09, 1 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    @PiccklePiclePikel: This is going in the direction of WP:IDIDNTHEARTHAT. No, your description of what the Billboard sources reference is incorrect. Source #3 is placed after: "Films such as Sleepless in Seattle, and a number of commercials, had used the music found in the adult standards format." -- not relevant to the subject of the article, simply speaking of the history of "adult standards format" (see Category:Adult standards radio stations in the United States). Source #3 is also placed after: "Affiliates were learning that going after over-50 listeners was nothing to be ashamed of; these people were active and had much money to spend, and advertisers could reach them if they just made the effort." -- again, not relevant; it's referring to history. Source #4 is placed after: "When Frank Sinatra died in 1998, Music of Your Life played 36 straight hours of his music. Since more people listened to this special programming than to what the format usually aired, the popularity of the music with a new audience was reinforced." -- is this promotional, non-notable section the only notable thing this radio network has done?
    1. Moving on to these new sources you provided -- so what if it's publicly traded? Another source you've provided (Yahoo Finance) seems to me to be routine coverage -- it's Yahoo Finance, a finance website, and it's focused on CEO Marc Angell's "expectations" (saying he "expects") with insignificant amounts of company history. Also, it's an interview; see WP:42#Independent Sources. It's also a promotional article, asking the reader to visit the Music of Your Life website.
    2. The World Radio History source is also an interview (see bottom-left and top-center of the PDF).
    3. The Prweb source isn't an wp:independent source. The author is MARC ANGELL, the CEO of the company that owns Music of Your Life (see right side).
    You've presented your points and I've presented mine. End of exchange. NytharT.C 20:01, 1 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    Actually it sounds exactly as if WP:IDIDNTHEARTHAT applies to you. The point is, you DELETED a source that you DID NOT READ. You do not know to what extent the source talked about Music of Your Life specifically and presumably one of those articles was quite specifically about it given that Music of Your Life is in the title. PiccklePiclePikel (talk) 20:28, 1 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    @PiccklePiclePikel: Please remain civil. No, the problem isn't that I removed a source "that I didn't read". I removed the section that cited it and there wasn't a need for it. I don't have to read it. NytharT.C 20:35, 1 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    About your earlier question, you are right, but "Editors coming across an article of ... a company without ... references are encouraged to search (or request that others search) prior to nominating for deletion, given the very high (but not certain) likelihood that a publicly traded company is actually notable according to the primary criterion." per WP:LISTED. Generally we should not just remove sources. Even if it was the right move to delete that part of the article, which is an open question since none of us actually read the source, you can keep the source there in a list of sources that do not have in-line citations. We don't know what other parts of the article used information from that source since the article lacks substantial in-line citations. Then, later on, an editor who is able to access that source, or looks up that text in a physical library, can make a judgement based on the actual contents of that source. It seems a bit disingenuous to put up an article for deletion citing 'inability to find sources', when you have personally deleted sources from that same article that you have not had access to.--PiccklePiclePikel (talk) 21:47, 1 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    @PiccklePiclePikel: Okay that makes sense, I've readded both Billboard references. The primary source and the WP:ROUTINE radio-info.com I've kept out. NytharT.C 22:12, 1 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete Zero sources found, one brief mention of the host, rest are hits on the phrase. Not sure how they could distribute the music over the internet in 1997 to HD radio stations, the bandwidth wasn't available yet and you were still in the era of floppy discs and CD-R's that crapped out of you sneezed on them, with a whopping 2x recording speed. Almost appears made up. Oaktree b (talk) 03:29, 9 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    The sources used are from 1997, but the "thing" has been distributing music since 1978? That's well before the computer era. The article is nonsense as it stands. TNT is the best option, with proper sourcing, but none has been found; still leaning delete. Oaktree b (talk) 03:33, 9 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Could not find any reliable sources about the history of this enterprise. WomenArtistUpdates (talk) 01:29, 11 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Keep per below I was trying to remember where I've heard of TVS before, and then I remembered TVS Television Network, who had its trademarks bought out by one of those "Internet moguls" who throw a bunch of random public domain or giveaway content onto a server under its name and call it a Roku channel and whose spam I had to keep out of a historical article (see here for what they air, a lot of sketchy 'off-VHS' content which I'm sure they don't own or is in the 'orphaned' grey area where its ultimate owners in old sports leagues no longer exist).
So for this...a dying trademark for a very terminal and generic 'nostalgia standards' format whose only WP:N was a trademark for a radio network at a time they were rare, but is now standard in the radio industry, and paying celebrities to patter between the music to instead of generic DJs, with ratings that barely exist. And since 2013 when it was sold off it's been part of those 'Internet moguls with big dreams' networks you've probably got spam about as a Pink Sheets 'investment opportunity' (yup, it's one of those penny stocks) involving dead properties that are resurrected as barely-viable zombie operations (there are multiple standards stations that don't make you pay $5/month to access just one audio feed on a WordPress site of questionable security). It's part of a company called The Marquie Group that also has...a beauty line?! And I guess a CBD line (which is a vanity company for the owner's wife, who apparently hosts a beauty tips segment for millennials and zoomers on an AM standards radio network for some reason. Yeah...). This isn't anything outside a small mention in the Peter Marshall, Wink Martindale and Gary Owens articles as part of their late life sections when the network was viable, not a money vacuum for weird daytraders. Nate • (chatter) 10:08, 11 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep and refocus on the original radio format. It looks like corporate cruft in the present day, from which no notability is derived, is weighing the page down badly. However, there is SIGCOV on the network and stations from the 80s.[4][5][6][7][8][9] Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 18:51, 11 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Agreed; those sources truly help the article and it should be focused on its successful prime, not its struggling current penny stock iteration; despite what I said above, I knew Sammi would find much better sources for this which are much more promising than the Angell version. Nate • (chatter) 19:28, 11 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    @Mrschimpf (and others), I have refocused the article using the references below and others. I can't get any SIGCOV or even an interview quote past 2009, so I'm not sure how much of its latter-day existence can or should be covered. I think that the sources I have found and rewritten copy also rebut the assertions by @Oaktree b in particular. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 21:41, 11 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

This article is about a chef that lacks significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources to establish notability. The sourcing in the article fails to establish notability. The version at nomination has 6 references:

  1. Allrecipes interview - not a reliable source
  2. Chef Vibes - a blog which is not a reliable source
  3. Benjaminepicure - the subject's own website which is clearly not independent
  4. Tripadvisor - not a reliable source
  5. Scoopearth "article" - Scoop Earth is not a reliable source and advertises its services including as digital marketing.
  6. Smithmorecastle - the subject's place of work is clearly not indpendent.

This paid article fails to establish notability with the provided sources and I cannot find any coverage in my own searches. Whpq (talk) 00:48, 7 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • 'Delete no sources found; I almost thought his name was a marketing gimmick (Epicure chef, very nice), but I guess not. Sources found are what's in the article, his website, trip advisor and his employer's website. A good chef, but not notable. Oaktree b (talk) 02:28, 7 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge with Smithmore Castle. The article has already been paid with the disclosure template included in the talk page, and was edited to sound non-promotional. As the subject is an employee of Smithmore Castle, the subject could have some of his related information in there. (E.g. There would be a new section or header that would include all the people related to Smithmore. After having significant coverage in the near future, then the subject involved could have his Wikipedia page live. ReVeluv02 (talk) 08:01, 8 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    There is no independent reliable sources to support even merging. As well, I'm in the middle of WP:BEFORE activity which may result in an AFD for the target article. Whpq (talk) 12:55, 8 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    Okay thank you for the response. I understand your discussion. Maybe could at least be considered for a redirect to Smithmore Castle rather than deleting? ReVeluv02 (talk) 02:21, 11 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    I have just nominated Smithmore Castle for deletion. Whpq (talk) 18:15, 11 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    Welp, just saw the nomination. ReVeluv02 (talk) 15:26, 12 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete - truly awful paid editing. If Epicure is notable, which is not at all clear from the sources, then he deserves a better article than this, and his money back from the authoring editor. As an aside, why does their Talkpage not disclose they are receiving payment for churning out this crap? KJP1 (talk) 20:27, 11 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Apparently nothing in terms of reliable, independent sourcing. Best, GPL93 (talk) 20:23, 13 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Travis Mill, Virginia[edit]

Travis Mill, Virginia (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD | edits since nomination)

This is a mill that was mislabeled as a populated place by GNIS and subsequently created as an "unincorporated community" stub. I could not locate any independent sourcing that mentions a community of this name, and the few newspaper hits covering minor occurrences at the mill are insufficient to meet GNG. This article was recently PROD deleted and subsequently restored by a request for undeletion. Although any PROD can be reversed upon request, this particular request seems to misunderstand both the purpose of Wikipedia (they mentioned its usefulness to genealogy research, which typically uses primary sources that cover topics far below our notability standards) and the reliability of sources that came up in a Google search (RoadsideThoughts and Hometown Locator are notorious GNIS scrapers). –dlthewave ☎ 00:29, 7 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Newspapers.com hits [46][47][48][49][50] describe it only as a mill property owned by E.B. Travis in 1905 and F.M. Travis in 1920. No evidence of being a notable community. Dozens of similarly negligently mass-produced pages in Template:Caroline County, Virginia should be likewise deleted. Reywas92Talk 01:52, 7 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
